Was anyone here banned for it? It doesn't seem like I was banned, but I only made like seven lanns before I gave up. :lol:

didn't make any extra characters, so that'd be a no. still, i visited the official forums, and right there was a thread titled "petition-unban players." no surprise there.

I didn't get banned either. I'm too lazy to try and create hundreds of characters for the small chance at an item.

I got banned and so did a lot of my friends.
Permanent bans for this is far too harsh. Some kind of punishment, maybe, but not permanent bans.

Just write an appeal with something along the lines of having a 25$ nexon card getting ready to be charged but now you can't.
And end it with a can you please help me?
90% chance of getting unbanned.

nexon did a sub-par job of banning everyone who did the exploit. There's still a lot of people I know who did make a ton of chars, and made a lot of money, but left unscathed. What the hell?
at any rate, i hope the people who didnt get banned rightfully only got the 7~14 day ban.

When you think about it it was kind of their fault. They shouldn't have allowed new characters to get the boxes.

This. A "You must be over level 10 to open Tieve's Suprise Box" would've stopped it.

While adding the box or allowing players below level 10 was a mistake on their part, and it screamed 'abuse me' to anyone with a quick wit or talkative friends, it was definitely still the players' fault for abusing it. It's pretty obvious that the event was not designed to work that way. Luckily most of the prizes sucked anyway, and the event ensured I'm never going to buy a real tieve's box.

while it was quite obviously exploitable, that does not mean that those who actually took advantage are any less at fault, much less nexon. Especially if its something with new content or event that they obviously didn't think out, when players notice you can explot it rather easily, it's just a more obvious red flag.
Especially when it pertains to cash items or things that sell for millions of dollars.
It was almost a bait for players, not intended of course. What nexon IS at fault for is making such a ****ty script to hand out the bans, I mean jeeze.
It's pretty common knowledge that nexon never does anything right the first time. you really need to be careful. I had a feeling this would happen, so i didnt even touch the possible 'free gold' farming with a 10 foot pole.

Other than the 4 characters I had before the event, I didn't abuse it. Though I'm surprised at how fast Nexon acted. It usually takes them weeks to take action on an issue like this. At least that's how it seems in Maplestory. xP

Cmon... when you exploit something you know what the consequences could be....
I agree with Mama, they should "punish" all the people who abused this equally.
